controlling particles with sound effector
Hi there, Im just breaking into C4D and wondering if anyone could enlighten me on how I would control aspects of an emitter using the sound effector. For example, having volume control particle number or spread angle, etc..

You would set up something like this: https://www.3danvil.com/temp/mograph_xpresso.jpg

Thanks Adam, that gave me a good start but Im still having trouble. Ive set things up like your example, but I’m getting a result of 0 coming out of the ‘strength’ node on the sample effector. Im sure Im just missing something silly as I am a newb. Thanks.

Does your sound effector work if you apply it directly to a mograph cloner or matrix object?
-
Also, you have to adjust your range mapper value to appropriate values.

Yes, silly mistake on my part — it is working now. Thanks Adam.
One thing Im noticing tho is that I cant control the birthrate with this system. Im guessing that would require thinking particles instead?
thanks for your help!

Yep, you can. You’ll find it under the TP>Emitter node’s “Particle” flyout menu.

ah cool i see it now, but only renderer, not editor?

? I’m seeing both here–first two entries in the list.

duh. my bad, I must have messed something up with the emitter with all my fooling around. Tried it with a new one and it works just dandy! Thanks a lot for helping out such a helpless newb.
